This is a case of memory leak in IE when running JavaScript repeatedly.

I am running some JavaScript repeatedly (per our development requirement) on an applet which causes the applet or JVM to exit. I have an example page and my JavaScript code that can reproduce this issue.

6. The above statement should define the JavaAppletTest global variable and also the RunJavaScript function
7. Now on the console tab call the RunJavaScript function

This should run the defined Java script function "RunJavaScript." This function supplies the third applet to the ProcessJavaApplet function of the JavaAppletTest global variable. The ProcessJavaApplet function recursively goes through the children of the applet and counts how many are there in the applet.

The above test is just small example of a small part of our development task which has issues as Java applet or JVM crashes.
